Dog Days of Summer

We normally spend as little time in grocery stores as humanly possible. But we might have discovered an exception to that rule. Tonight at Heinen's in Strongsville, the "Dog Days of Summer" Beer Tasting should put a smile on shoppers' faces. Starting at 6:30 p.m. , and costing $10, this special summer-themed tasting features a sampling of 10 bottled and four draft beers from local and regional brewers. Included in the tasting are Brew Kettle, Ommegang, Rogue, and Southern Tier. For nibbles, Heinen's will be offering specialty cheeses, meats and artisan breads. Pre-registration by phone is requested. 18300 Royalton Rd, Strongsville, 440-238-9491, heinens.com
